Screaming like harimoto. It boost your confidence, annoys your opponent and somewhat intimidates your opponent. Some say it's unsportsmanlike but hey it's legal.
My #1 tip for winning more points is to simply focus on keeping your serves as low over the net as possible. Even if your serves are otherwise predictable, if you can do this relatively consistently, you will get consistently weaker returns. Just a few centimeters makes an enormous difference. Whenever I'm struggling on my own serves this is the first thing I evaluate. It still surprises me how much value you can get, and it's very easy to overlook if you're not paying very close attention
I have another interesting idea. Can you 2 play a match, then explain to us in detail what was your strategy and what you were thinking about for every single point from start to finish (e.g. he is trying to rush the point so I'm going to do this to make him make more mistakes; now he has adapted my strategy I am going to do this next etc.). I think this would give us a good example of how to analysis players and how to deal with them during a match
My thanks to the two of you. I often lose to players that have less consistent strokes than me. In short, I beat myself. Your advice to go slow, focusing on hitting at least 5 shots in a rally, is particularly on point I believe. Cheers BrianW
We heard often ''watch the ball'' , should be Watch the opponent (attitude/move/eyes).Against hard hitter/blocker i tend to serve very soft , the ball barely crossing over. Thanks for sharing great tips ...may the smartest win !
It's actually possible to train your backhand to make a strong attack even in the crossover area. My bad habits have given me terrible footwork, but I have become quite good at hitting the ball in awkward positions, my armpit forehead, while not as strong as a normal forehand, often surprises my opponent often. Good footwork is of course preferable, but for us who can't move well, this is an alternative.
Very good tipps. But I think there must be a bonus tipp. Watch the opponents bat / bat angle after you hit the ball. Don‘t follow it with your eyes. Because he is on the way and you cant‘t change anything. If you look at your opponents position and his bat angle you can see very early, where the next ball will be played. And you can get much earlier into the right position to do your stroke. This will not work at all players. But it could help to get more time for your attack.
Hi Dan, greetings from Indonesia. Another great video & very useful tips. Can't wait for the new episode of TTD match. I see a lot of comments asking for new episode release everytime you upload video other than the TTD league match.
I always find Dan and Toms ‘unintentional’ block misses really funny 😂 as it’s so obvious that your purposely blocking off the end of the table lol great video once again though 🏓💯💪
I do a lot of serve practice, but I think its important to mention that you have to play matches with the serves because the whole dynamic of how the serve effects the opponent and taking advantage of how they are pushed to return the ball in a certain way. The third touch is my weakest point right now, as I can serve practice easily, but match practice are harder to arrange.
The big one is to actually have fun ! ! ! Enjoy yourself don't get too serious , and you will be more relaxed and make your shots, and when you don't - you won't get too demoralised !
My forehand topspin was always the spinny and slow moving but now I'm practicing to vary my forehand to hitting the ball more forcefully instead of a spinny one like the Chinese. The problem now is I have to be a bit more agile and improve my footwork because my opponents can easily block my topspin unlike before.
I think warming up should be talked about. My last match I had like 5 minutes to warm up because we had two home competitions taking place, so four tables for four teams, which is just not enough. Kids training went on normally up until 7PM, the games were scheduled for half an hour later. Timed had to be wasted for setting up the hall until we could start warming up. It went really bad for me and my partner and then our team mates came to us and wanted to switch. I'm not as good as you guys are and losing matches is one thing, but playing bad because you had not enough time to prepare is another thing. I was furious for the next couple of days because of this.
Hi Dan , big fan of your videos . Just wanted to ask you to recommend some custom table tennis racquet under budget (1000-5000Rs)(60 £) for average gameplay , I'm an intermediate player who enjoys playing in office hours but also wants to improve game. Some reply would be really appreciated. Also a video idea😁😁😂
I think, a problem at amateur leages is that the players do not play explosive enough. If I watch games of the 3rd or fourth german tt league (I also can see it at the second league), that the players don´t have enough feeling for good and explosive topspins and spinny serves or chops. The player often have a very bad backhand and only can use it for blocking or serve returning at the table. But if they go 2 steps back, they miss every topspin or it contains little spin and pace. I think, for backhand topspins you should use also your elbow and underarm.
We are all too passive honestly. I'm in the lowest league and our first team is four leagues above and you can see the same pattern there. It disgusts me when I play like that.

Let us know what strategies you use to win at Table Tennis! See you in the comments 🔥🏓
TableTennisDaily thank you

SMAAAAAAASH

I'm playing a tournemount for England u15s so thanks for some extra tips
Playing to the elbow is so smart
He also described it as the “crossover” which is what I found in a table tennis book from the library in the early 80s.
1. Play on elbow
2. Don't force your shots
3. Quality of spin
4. Awareness of opponent
5. Make your serve count
Thanks

Yeah i agree. The lower the better.
Yeah this is very useful for lower levels/when playing against less experienced people
Thanks man, I have a tournament tomorrow and I hope I win, been practicing almost everyday for months.
@@dan-zt4jkWhat happened in the end!? 🤞🏼

that's such a great idea tbh
I agree that.
Me: Why am I watching this, I’m already good at table tennis
Also me: I’m bad
Yeah it's good and all, but we want to know WHEN ARE YOU GONNA PLAY DAN??
Spoiler alert!? A new episode of TTD Team could fulfil our desires ;-)
Stay tuned for this Mondays episode guys 💪🏓🔥
@@TableTennisDaily Is it because you are weaker than most ppl on TTD?? I doubt that
Ooooh.. monday... right when i claim my gift related to table tennis :D
Hi, Dan and Tom!
I’ve seen your videos and it’s really simple and easy to understand! I’m impressed.
Keep working hard! Thank you.

I instantly clicked to the video when I saw you uploaded. Love the vids, the ttd team and the useful tips. Much love

All strategies are great but I really liked #4 (I already do try to see where opponent is moving to but I need to do better).
Very good tipps. But I think there must be a bonus tipp. Watch the opponents bat / bat angle after you hit the ball. Don‘t follow it with your eyes.

Hi Franky very good point there. Not only keeping an eye on the position of the opponent during the rally but his bat angle and position to 🏓
This tip actually made a massive difference to my game.
If I could manage to get edge of the table serves every time, I might would be the most hated player but if I win then who caaares, hahahaaaa

Haha nooo Tom blocked it off due to all my spin 😁😁😁
TableTennisDaily I’m sure he did Dan I’m sure he did 🤣😜 you sure are up late must have been working hard today
@@TableTennisDaily That's what happens when you use booster for the rubbers...you get more spin than you're actually able to produce.
I am so much not only profiting from the content but enjoying the way you´re presenting it. thx
Great video guys only hope I can take in what you have taught and execute next time I play a match. Thanks
This is very helpful
These are all excellent! For that 5th one I find that dabbing as part of a well-placed serve or a forehand is extremely effective lol
Nice works boys. Very interesting 👍🏽
2:50 is that louis price in the right seat? He’s amazing at table tennis. Dan props to you for training him so well👏🏼👍🏼
Haha yeah that's him! Impressed you spotted him. He trains hard... that's key 😀 Thanks for the comment Nasir 🙏
Love your table tennis tutorials. Can you pls make a video on learning serves . I'm not really good at serves especially ghost serve

The third touch is my weakest point right now, as I can serve practice easily, but match practice are harder to arrange.
The 4th strategy "Awareness of the opponent" is the most important one.
The big one is to actually have fun ! ! ! Enjoy yourself don't get too serious , and you will be more relaxed and make your shots, and when you don't - you won't get too demoralised !
Hey James good point! We mention this in a previous video, enjoying the game is key! Thanks for the comment 🏓🏓

Does that Viscaria have a custom-made handle, Dan? The commercial flared one is much thinner...
Love your vids keep up the cracking work
Thanks Sharon 🙌🏓
Thanks for these tips dan. Are you guys going to review the harimoto zlc and super zlc when they get released
Thanks Purujit, yeah we will be looking to review this a bit later this year :)
@@TableTennisDaily and are you guys going to review Dignics 09C
When u were speaking of the play to elbow point, if the player uses backhand instead of fore hand then what is the point of play to elbow?
tarun biswas then the opponent would be positioned at the middle of the table and you can play in the wide backhand
Great haircut Dan
Great team spirit !!
Really good. Thnx a lot. TTD Team 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Terimakasih videonya❤🎉

What rackets do you use, I’m planning on buying one but I don’t know which ones to buy? For a good price

@@backspacer92 Than we think the same together. But I just can play tabletennis at home. But you can change your style and play better. Good luck!
Useful
Dan, did you change to viscaria from boll alc?
I really want to see a Tom vs Dan match
THANK YOU! YOU JUST GOT A SUB FROM ME.
The first strategy only works for Shakehanders, and it's doesn't work well for Penholders. Anyway, It's still good video. Thanks a lot.
Hi Tom where review the butterfly Lin gaouan alc?
What blade does Tom use? .___. Stiga Offensive wood? Carbon? Or what
What forehand rubber are these guys using?
Great👍👍
Thanks!
